Will shortly be submitting 6 books. Haven't yet because two of them have 
handwriting sections I need to have help typing in, and 4 others than are in a 
row and the third part of the trilogy isn't done yet. I don't think it would be 
nice to put the first two parts up and then wait another week for the third. 
*grin*.

How about that books out for editing list? No admin queue so I'd imagine that 
would be easier to generate now.

Keep up the great work Gustavo!
Jake
PS Mister will shortly be back to work.

  gentlepeople,



  i have no books to approve! while it's cool to think: "great! the 
Bookshare.org book approval queue is [practically] empty.now it's 
major-slacking-off-time for me".unfortunately, that just means i'd have more 
time to do other stuff on my to-do list.



  approving books to go live on the website is without a doubt the coolest part 
of my daily routine. if i have no books, then i have to move down the list of 
daily tasks which aren't nearly as fun: improve my fussball game, or listen to 
Jim complain about glaring holes in the movie adaptation of The Lord of the 
Rings, or watch Peter via his webcam as he practices his interpretive dance 
moves. none of these prospects are as fun as approving more books and watching 
the live books number increase daily. we're at 22,652 as of the time i write 
this email.



  Bookshare.org cannot hit the 25,000 live books mark, which you all think is 
do-able (and i do as well) by the end of the year without your continuous and 
always appreciated submission and validation efforts.



  please, give me something fun to do. do some quality validation, otherwise 
i'll have to learn to speak Klingon, get that correspondence-school AA degree 
in gun-repair or schedule a dental-cleaning appointment.



  many thanks,



  gustavo
